2017 Dressage At Lexington
July 14 - 16, 2017

Dressage at Lexington Acquired by Virginia Dressage Association
A 27 year tradition continues under new management.
Lexington, VA. Dressage at Lexington, held at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, Virginia,
is a premier dressage show, having grown to be one of the largest shows on the East Coast.
Featuring special classes like the Prix St. Georges Challenge, a hotly contested FEI class, and the
very popular Sporting Horse Amateur Challenge, Dressage at Lexington has become a
destination event for amateurs and professionals alike. Sponsors and riders like the friendly
atmosphere, top facility, and opportunity for a victory gallop.

After 27 years of developing and managing Dressage at Lexington, show manager Debbie
Rodriguez is handing over the reins to the Virginia Dressage Association. “It has been a great
experience. The best part is the people in our sport that I have gotten to know. Watching riders
and horses develop and come up the levels has been a treat. Knowing that volunteers and
sponsors are willing to pitch in and help has made my job easy. I look forward to the experience
that VADA brings to the table, and anticipate a bright future for VADA and Dressage at
Lexington.”

VADA, an active and experienced United States Dressage Federation Group Member
Organization with a long history of managing Championship shows, will start hosting Dressage
at Lexington in 2017. VADA President Alison Head notes, “We are thrilled to have the
opportunity to continue this important Dressage Show. We hope to continue the great work that
Debbie has done, and add some special “VADA” touches as well. We look forward to welcoming
everyone in July of next year.”
